"Which one opened fire?" headlines Tema alongside a front-page photo spread of members of the country’s security forces suspected of the shooting which resulted in the deaths of three people in front of Prime Minister Sali Berisha’s offices on 21 January. The victims were taking part in a demonstration organised by the opposition socialist party, led by the mayor of Tirana, Edi Rama, to demand that the government stand down in the wake of the departure of Economy and Trade Minister Ilir Meta who resigned amid corruption allegations on 14 January.
